It is not fixed for me: T500, 12.04.1 _LTS _. It causes severe overheating and crashes on a regular basis. I even had problems installing 12.04 due to crashes during the installation. Some things I observed on my laptop:
- it is an OS specific bug: Windows works fine on my laptop - the problem got worse from 10.04 to 12.04: I see approx. 10 degrees higher idle temperatures - with Windows, higher fan RPMs seem to be available (below the very noisy full-speed) from what I can hear - for me, the overheating problem seems to be severe only with discrete graphics (ATI) enabled - I have thinkfan configured and running, but still have crashes (considerably less than without though) It seems the debian bugfix fixes only a workaround (full-speed mode for thinkfan). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751689 Title: ThinkPads overheat due to slow fans when on 'auto' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/751689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
